JAMAICA, NY—The York College men's soccer team rallied from a two-goal deficit Saturday afternoon and salvaged a 2-2 tie against conference rival John Jay College.

The Cardinals found themselves in a tough hole after John Jay's Edward Gonzalez scored a pair of first half goals to give the Bloodhounds a 2-0 advantage going into the locker room.

York fought back however, scoring an unassisted goal in the 58^th minute from Menard Millus to make it 2-1.  Then in the 70^th minute, a handball on a John Jay player in the goalie box resulted in a penalty kick for York.  The reigning CUNYAC Rookie of the Week, Khadim Kebe, converted the penalty kick to knot the score up at 2-2.

In overtime, neither team could muster many scoring opportunities and the contest finished with a 2-2 tie.  

York goalie Samer Abdelfattah stopped three shots in net to preserve the draw, while John Jay goalie Kemar Brown made five stops.

With the tie, York now stands at 3-5-2 overall and 2-1-2 in the CUNYAC.  John Jay is now 5-5-1, 2-2-1 in the CUNYAC.

The Cardinals will visit Lehman College on Wednesday ay 7:00 p.m.
